A woman was injured when her pickup truck went off the road, crossed over the lane and then hit an oncoming car just after 7:30 Friday morning.

The crash closed Route 209 at Glendale Road in Chestnuthill Township for several hours until the poll was repaired and wires were replaced.

State police at Fern Ridge said the woman was driving a blue Dodge Dakota pickup truck heading south on Route 209 when she went off the road to the right. The vehicle knocked over a utility pole and pushed a Dry Creek Trailer Sales and Service sign off its base. The sign ended up facing the opposite way.

Police said the woman, whose name has not been released, then crossed over the road into the other lane and hit a white Kia Borrego SUV traveling northbound.
